Crap, but not really surprising

While this has the potential to cripple the US domestic market and the producers that supply it, it will have little to no impact on Habanos SA for the time being.

If and when the US opens up to import of Cuban cigars this might have a major impact on the ability for them to introduce their products directly.

Even then, the same avenues open today will still most likely be available.

 This may be tough for sure , the US domestic premium cigar market as it is already expensive comparatively speaking .
